Welcome to Tech in the Car! in this video i'm driving the
Alfa Romeo Giulia Quadrifoglio and giving you my review of it!
Welcome to Tech in the Car this is the Alfa Romeo Giulia Quadrifoglio!
this car looks stunning this is meant to be the best car that you can get in the mid size market
this is perhaps the best sports sedan saloon there is we've got a 2.9 liter V6 twin turbo
510 horsepower 600 newton meters of torque through an eight speed automatic gearbox rear-wheel drive
with a sports differential and just look at this so there's lots of cool things going on here look
at this down the side of the doors the door sills are carbon fiber they go all the way down and they
kind of fan out from the back to the front to make it look really unique and interesting the roof
is carbon fiber the bonnet is carbon fiber and you can probably hear we've got 19-inch wheels
with massive brake calipers and they're red as well and then we've got the quadrifoglio badge so
what this signifies is the performance division of alfa romeo and the story behind this is that
enzo ferrari met this other gentleman called hugo savaci and they started racing for alfa romeo
and they decided that they were having bad luck so they decided to put a four leaf clover on their
racing car and they started winning races and they were doing really well and then unfortunately he
died in an accident and so instead of having the four leaf clover in a square because he died
to remember him they made it a triangle so that is where the quadrifoglio badge comes from
looking at the bonnet here you can see these really interesting vents here it's all scooped out
very aggressive which looks really interesting the alfa romeo badge of course here and then down here
you have the active arrow so this is an active aero front spoiler
which will deploy at 60 miles an hour for better stability and i believe this is the only car in
the current range of mid-sized saloons which has an active aero front spoiler you will also notice
on this 2020 2021 model there is an adaptive cruise sensor so this car has been updated to
include all of the driving technology and we'll show you in a little bit i want to go for drive
that its competitors had and it was previously missing so this now has adaptive cruise control
lane assist traffic jam assist all the technology that you would expect in a car which costs
what this costs i really like these wheels
they're awesome wheels no doubt about that and from the back here you've got
this dovetail spoiler again carbon fiber and that looks really cool i mean just look at that
it looks aerodynamic and it's a very unique look again very very individual even the tail lights
at the back here they're clear in the middle it's very unusual normally you'd have them
the same color as the rest of the lights so that's a cool feature
and then down here you have the quad tail pipes and the massive diffuser
which make this car look unbelievably aggressive from behind
i mean look at the size of these diffuser blades they're massive they look like a boat turned
upside down they look amazing and of course you've got a rear camera here
it's all reversing as well it's just a very aggressive very wide car you can see the haunches
here coming up the back it's even got insects attracted to it and just the whole car looks
amazing and what's also interesting is although this is the same size as a bmw
3 series or a mercedes c-class it feels a lot smaller when driving it as well which is really
really interesting so we're inside the alfa romeo julia quadrifoglio and we've got this amazing
interior you can see the steering wheel here with alcantara inserts on the side red stitching
carbon fiber down the middle with the quadrifoglio logo the start stop button and then you've got
your controls on serial for the lane keep adaptive cruise control these weren't on the previous
generation so that's new to this car and then your volume and track skip forward and
backwards voice control and phone button inside here you can see it's really beautiful you got
carbon fiber here on the inside you've got the italian flag just to let you remember
that this car is italian not that you should have any doubt because this is an alpha romeo
you've got one usb port here down here a usb type c auxiliary in and a standard usb
and a cigarette charger and this has wireless charging as well but
my phone won't fit in there as you can probably see
nobody makes car phone holders for folding phones apparently inside more carbon fiber more red
stitching you've got harman kardon speakers 900 watts leather all over the inside these analog
really cool dials as well you've got your climate control very easy to use to adjust it turn it up
and down adjust the speed turn on the demisting the seat heating you've got another 12 volt here
that's two very close to each other two nice cupholders here you know the size of
this are wrapped in leather this is really nice plastic leather it's just a really nice interior
these are not the carbon bucket seats made by sparco but they're very comfortable
they're fully electric got lots of adjustability no complaints at all cool vents as well here
and then down the side of the steering wheel let's not forget these amazing aluminium
paddle shifters which are attached to the steering column they're not attached to the steering wheel
so they don't turn when you drive just like a ferrari and then you've got your light controls
on the side your controls for your windscreen wipers as well we have analog dials in this car
and then we've got our central gauge cluster and you can see everything you can want to on there
and i can cycle through the radio stations like this
but it doesn't appear to me that there is any way to actually adjust that information that's on the
screen other than through the infotainment system that you saw so it shows you all the information
you want the light the speed limit the time what you're listening to in your speed but it doesn't
give you the ability to adjust it on the fly we're inside the julia quadrifoglio and i have
to be honest with you i'm in dynamic mode right now the steering is really precise i feel that
it's there's no doubt about it as you're driving along here every little turn you make you can feel
responding to you it's a really interesting feeling it's very different from the steering
in the other cars i've driven even compared to the m5 which although it was a really really fun
car to drive the searing didn't feel like this it just feels very very nimble very very happy
to be in any position moving anywhere the feeling to the quality you know have these aluminium gear
shifters it just feels really really good in your hand you feel very safe very secure and i know
right now that i've got all of these new advanced assistance systems which weren't there previously
which i didn't have so you know that's a first as well and it's really interesting to see
that i've got all of these and i have that safety and security to know that but i mean
you know like you put your foot down a tiny bit you know and it feels really good it feels
it feels a lot of fun there's no doubt about that i can understand the feeling
of fun you've got this definitely got this push from the back of the car because it's rear wheel
drive which is pushing you along and to have that
510 horsepower ferrari derived v6 which is based on the engine in the ferrari portofino and also
now has been updated and put into the new ferrari roma you you feel like you've got a really special
engine underneath you and i think that's really important to feel that specialness when driving
a car i think the cars are meant to have that feeling that emotion that you want to drive them
because they bring you somewhere special i feel like this car is very very capable of anything
i can throw at it you know the suspension really interesting i'm in a sporty suspension mode now
so let's try changing the suspension we got soft dampers now that feels much better much easier
over the bumps in the road because we are in england after all and it is a wet
rainy english day this car feels very very good to drive so this is exciting to drive this car i can
i can feel exactly where i am on the road it feels very precise the brakes feel really sharp every as
i drive around the corner here i i feel confident in where i am it's just you know an amazing car
to drive i i haven't driven the m3 and i'm very interested in driving new m3 i'm very
interested in maybe you know getting a new m3 i haven't driven the c63 i hope that i will get the
opportunity to drive them i don't know how they would compare this car feels like my car in terms
of size this is obviously a bigger car than the a3 the rs3 but in terms of size it doesn't feel
very big it feels very nimble and very precise which i think is exactly what you want in a car
you don't want a car which feels large and difficult to control there is definitely a
feeling that this is wider than other cars there's no doubt about that i think the kind
of aggressive body language gives that definitely and you know you can feel it while i was driving
through the narrow roads there i could feel that i was more concerned about the width of this car
you know what would have that been like in an m5 it would have been even more difficult
to to uh to drive around there and the m5 which is even wider but you know i'm
driving along here let's put my foot down a bit feel the kick as i go faster
this car is fantastic to drive there's absolutely an experience which you want and you can feel that
if you're after a midsize saloon this is an amazing car it's got all the technology that you
want now yeah it still is let down a bit in some places the technology may not be as advanced as
other cars in sector but it's got it all i'm using android auto i've talked to google i know
where i am i've got my adaptive cruise control plus i've got a 500 horsepower engine which
owes its birth to ferrari and in an alpha romeo so definitely check out the alfa romeo julia
quadrifoglio if you're after a car which is a sports car but comfortable with space in the back
then you should get one of these there's no doubt about it in my mind i hope you enjoyed this video
